About The Role
The Senior Technical Advisor will offer leadership, management and technical assistant for Amref’s Learning for Life (L4L): Building a Resilient and Responsive Health Workforce in Africa programme in Kenya. This 4-year programme in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, will be implemented in Kenya, Senegal and Zambia during this first phase. The estimated ratio of health workers per population in Africa is 11.2 workers per 10,000 people, far below the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended ratio of 44.5. It is estimated that the global shortage of health workers will increase from 12 to 18 million by 2030, translating to a shortage of six million health workers. Africa also has the world’s fastest growing population, which presents governments and policy makers with both opportunities and challenges to ensure sufficient livelihood opportunities for its young population. To address these challenges and accelerate the current Universal Health Coverage (UHC) gains, Amref is implementing this innovative, multi-country, multi-million dollar programme with the ultimate goal of contributing to increased and sustainable job creation within primary health care (PHC) sectors across Africa.
Reporting to the PHC Programme Manager, the Senior Technical Advisor will lead the implementation of the Learning for Life programme’s pillars of health employment, health entrepreneurship, and health ecosystem building in Kenya. S/he will oversee stakeholder engagement to ensure ongoing relevance and alignment of programme interventions with both national and sub-national priorities.
The role involves guiding and inspiring the assessment, training, and coordination of ecosystem players to bolster the primary healthcare workforce, which includes Community Health Workers. The Senior Technical Advisor will also support the strengthening of the Ministry of Health, along with those of training institutions and other pertinent public and private sector entities, to optimize the generation and integration of a skilled health workforce that meets the evolving needs of the healthcare landscape.
